It is the accounting profession that really grind my gears by making somthing as simple as proffits and expenses tracking so confusing to a point where not only you want to pull you hair out but go completely insane in the process. In short... keep it simple for yourself. If someone asks for structured documents... tell em thats what you got and take it or leave it.

One where a usual standard was applied. Now introduce a variable. Something that would make the usual standard impossible to complete the task. Now ask the person to come up with a solution that will work around the variable and complete the task. If they can come up with a viable solution then you have a viable candidate that is inventive and is capable of thinking on their feet.

In 2003 it was suggested to me by a friend, since I was having a hard time finding work that I should try going at it on my own. So I did. I knew some worksite foremen who introduced me to a few electricians. Most of which confessed they really fisliked working with communications or low voltage line and wanted to focus on the high voltage side. I offered yo aleviate their woes and take care of it for them gor a more than reasonable rate. Projects were few and scattered. Did not make.much of a profit... but it was more-so a pleasure doing the work as I would rather be doing something than nothing at all.
